I was chatting to a bunch of yanks on another forum the other day and
our dd-mm-yyyy date format drew a comment of "dude, that's ****ed up".
He went on to say "Ours is better because it's like May, the 6th day,
and 2008".
He didn't have much of a comeback when I asked why they don't apply
that superior thinking to the time format: HH:SS:MM. "Wake up! It's
9:00:55 FFS!" ;-)
Besides, I'm a computer nerd so I prefer yyyy-mm-dd anyway.
